Summary
A lovely yuri romance for the modern career woman！
Uno Hinako throws herself into makeup， fashion， and falling in love， hoping that will make her seem normal to the other people at her job。 But no matter how hard she tries， she's a self-doubting mess inside， and her attempts at normal romance with men just keep failing。 When she starts to think she might be alone forever， a new normal presents itself--in the form of her relationship with Asahi Sato， a level-headed woman who works at her company， which starts as respect until it becomes far more intimate。

After her date with Asahi went nowhere， Fuuka meets up with Hinako to hash things out。 Hinako and Asahi are drawn to one another， but what is love anyway？ And why isn’t there more Subaru in this final volume？Uh， well， things come to a close and a resolution is had by all。 And， yet， it can’t help but feel a little unsatisfying。 It feels like everybody is doing an awful lot of inner monologue and not much dialogue。 And when they do talk， just be assured that a doughnut might be involved。I’m glad F After her date with Asahi went nowhere， Fuuka meets up with Hinako to hash things out。 Hinako and Asahi are drawn to one another， but what is love anyway？ And why isn’t there more Subaru in this final volume？Uh， well， things come to a close and a resolution is had by all。 And， yet， it can’t help but feel a little unsatisfying。 It feels like everybody is doing an awful lot of inner monologue and not much dialogue。 And when they do talk， just be assured that a doughnut might be involved。I’m glad Fuuka doesn’t exit the stage after her confession， choosing instead to still be a friend to everybody （especially Subaru; I’m glad they kept the hints up about the latter crushing on the former right up to the end）。 Fuuka has a very pragmatic outlook behind her usual personality and her meeting with Hinako is quite nicely done。Then， well， stand back because it’s time to hit the gas。 I think the plot suddenly kicking into higher gear is a lot of the problem here， as things that maybe need a little more room to breathe are basically crammed together such that they start to asphyxiate。Yet， at the same time， what’s going on feels incredibly slow。 Hinako’s judgemental mother comes to town riding her own bitter regrets in life and， with a little time for her to make supper， Hinako explodes and stands up against her mom’s casual homophobia。Which is great， but all feels incredibly unearned， especially the denouement。 And that turns into a treatise on aging， where this poor… （checks notes）… 50-something woman is acting like they’ll be sending her off on the next ice flow。It feels like we get a lot of added in plot here that should have been brought up ages ago。 If there’s one word that I would use to define how this story ends up， it would be awkward。 Yeah， you get your happy ending， but it doesn’t feel earned。Partly because that doughnut metaphor comes back and turns out to be all about Hinako being uninterested in physical sexuality。 To say that this ‘imagery’ has been baked in from the start is not a lie， it’s right in the title， but good lord is it a bit much。 And using it as a metaphor for acceptance is fine， except， try as it might to explain， it still feels like it’s saying she’s missing something。 Which is not true， she’s fine as she is。I know the asexual reading of Hinako has been prevalent from the get-go too， and her journey is not the problem， I just don’t like how the two of them have their big moment and just start lobbing these not-insignificant details at one another in the middle of the street。It all feels really rushed。 I’m glad things work out， congrats to the only two ace people in the whole story finding one another， but this entire volume feels off in a way the previous ones didn’t， like the whole thing just ran out of steam。 Which sucks， because up to this point it had been pretty stellar。 And so very little Subaru to distract me。3 stars - this one hurts， but talk about a let-down。 I love when we get less prevalent gender identities in manga， but they deserve the same quality of storytelling and I found this wanting compared to， say， Is Love the Answer？ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 To have wlw asexuality expressed so clearly and then accepted legitimately brought a tear to my eye。 I am so glad this series exists so I can hope happy endings like this *could* happen in real life。

This was an excellent little series， perfectly paced and with a very sweet romance。 It was nice to see each of the characters face their fears and grow as people。

i finally read the last volume after reading the first 3 volumes last year of august。 interestingly enough， i dont think i've internalized love's different facets last august so reading the ending of this story after months of growth and realization feels so cathartic。 i cried so much reading this volume and i just know i'll treasure this story and these characters forever。god， i cant believe it tackled the nuances of queer love， specifically sapphic love， in only 4 volumes。 that's actually pret i finally read the last volume after reading the first 3 volumes last year of august。 interestingly enough， i dont think i've internalized love's different facets last august so reading the ending of this story after months of growth and realization feels so cathartic。 i cried so much reading this volume and i just know i'll treasure this story and these characters forever。god， i cant believe it tackled the nuances of queer love， specifically sapphic love， in only 4 volumes。 that's actually pretty insane。 it also poses the questions that people of the aroace spectrum ask on the daily ESPECIALLY in this amatonormative and heteronormative world。AAAAAAAA IM JUST REALLY HAVING A BRAINFART RN， THIS DEFINITELY ISNT A PROPER REVIEW， but this is such a beautiful and important story for anyone trying to understand love and life， and just anyone wanting to share their lives and hearts with people， unapologetically。 。。。more

This was a really sweet series overall and I'm definitely glad I picked this up。 The art was beautiful， I liked the depiction of the developing feelings and the fact it centred around adult women。 I do wish there was a little more nuance with the ace rep we got， but overall I still really enjoyed this read。 This was a really sweet series overall and I'm definitely glad I picked this up。 The art was beautiful， I liked the depiction of the developing feelings and the fact it centred around adult women。 I do wish there was a little more nuance with the ace rep we got， but overall I still really enjoyed this read。 。。。more

I think ultimately I am disappointed in the， I don't want to say lack of nuance and flexibility， because it's not true， but idk， as an ace person myself， I prefer ace characters who are not so adamant that they will never want to kiss and touch their lover。 I'm not saying they have to kiss and touch each other on the page or anything， but just that I am bothered by the marked dichotomy as if feelings and desires don't ebb and flow and evolve。 I understand that in general， the discourse is not ex I think ultimately I am disappointed in the， I don't want to say lack of nuance and flexibility， because it's not true， but idk， as an ace person myself， I prefer ace characters who are not so adamant that they will never want to kiss and touch their lover。 I'm not saying they have to kiss and touch each other on the page or anything， but just that I am bothered by the marked dichotomy as if feelings and desires don't ebb and flow and evolve。 I understand that in general， the discourse is not exactly there but it's frustrating （e。g。， we're still at a point of trying to convince people that yes romantic love does not always entail sexual attraction and desire， but this is already a simplified， codified， rigidified classification of a shifting spectrum）。 。。。more

This was such a sweet manga。I really enjoyed reading it。 It's sad that it was only four volumes but it didn't feel rushed at all。 It is a good thing that that mangaka didn't drag it out either。 This was such a sweet manga。I really enjoyed reading it。 It's sad that it was only four volumes but it didn't feel rushed at all。 It is a good thing that that mangaka didn't drag it out either。 。。。more
